Religions are no exception and islam especially needs to be criticized as world events demonstrate almost daily. Claiming that a violent group that demands to rule the world isn't islamic is denying some very obvious and non-obscure commands in the quran. Claiming that islam is a religion of peace is outright ignoring the founder of the religion, whom every muslim reveres without question, whom was a warmonger that started the religion in blood and continued to spread it at the edge of a sword.
